Final Revision: Form LM-10 Employer Report
Tomorrow, the Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) will publish a final revision to the Form LM-10 Employer Report. See: https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-15510.pdf. Pursuant to the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA), employers must file a Form LM-10 with OLMS to disclose certain payments, expenditures, agreements, and arrangements. Employers must file reports covering, among other activities, agreements with consultants (and other payments and expenditures) made with an object to:
- persuade employees concerning their organizing and collective bargaining rights, or
- obtain information concerning the activities of employees and unions involved in a labor dispute with such employer.
With these revisions, OLMS implements its September 13, 2022, proposal to add to the Form LM-10 report a checkbox requiring employer filers to indicate whether they were federal contractors or subcontractors, and two lines for entry of their Unique Entity Identifier and federal contracting agency or agencies. The final revision explains that the transparency created by the revision would better inform workers in making determinations regarding the exercise of their rights to organize and bargain collectively. See the OLMS employer-consultant reporting page and the final revision fact sheet for more information about these changes to the Form LM-10.
This rule will be effective on August 28, 2023. Form LM-10 reports filed on or after August 28, 2023, must be submitted on the revised form.
